I remarked in a comment on one of my recent posts, I feel like Ensign George Gay. I've been pecking away ineffectively not landing any shots, and then the SBD's showed up.

Outnumbered and outgunned the USA routed the Japanese at Midway, and destroyed the main body of their attack force. There was a lot of war left, but Tuesday? It was the FLDS Midway. At any rate, it's an excuse to post a picture of one of my many favorite aircraft, a Douglas SBD Dauntless Dive Bomber. It's the last thing many Japanese sailors on the Hiryū, Sōryū, Kaga, and Akagi saw.
